This $372,420 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Colorado State University will advance understanding of cloud formation and future storm patterns through the development of novel AI-powered algorithms. The 3-year project, running from September 2024 to August 2027, aims to:
- Establish mappings between large-scale weather data and satellite-derived cloud properties to study current and historical cloud variability.
- Analyze climate model simulations to connect broad environmental conditions with specific cloud features, preparing for future climate scenarios.
- Integrate mathematical techniques like topological data analysis to create more interpretable AI models for geoscience applications.
This interdisciplinary effort involving mathematicians, data scientists, and atmospheric scientists is expected to enhance weather prediction capabilities and inform policy decisions related to climate change adaptation. No subcontracts are planned under this award.
